Another one for identification, please

Bingo, Roy, that seems to suggest a pattern rather than a one-off!

Very similar indeed, down to the scabbard and the file-worked silver bands (please post close-ups!). How do the bottom and the top of the scabbard look like - done in silver this time?

From the looks I'd guess that your's may also come from a similar period (perhaps a tad earlier into 20th c.?); so, the jury may be still out how any antique version may have looked.

Thanks so much for posting both of these enigmas!

Regards,
Kai
